I have shot two rows of film and attempted to rewind them back in order to achieve the triptography effect. These are the 5 images that came out best. I think of these images to be truly successful in picturing thought patterns or dreams when one image suddenly interchanges by another. It can also representContinue reading “Test shoot”

Picturing the innate characteristic of existence sensory contact gives rise to clinging and craving to temporary states and things, which is ultimately unsatisfactory and painful. Picture the impermanence of things and how we hold on to them in orderContinue reading “Understanding Buddhist Four Noble Truths”

I came up with the three ideas for my project:   1. Picturing the invisible through photography: the emotion Four noble truths/the path to the enlightenment How photography depicts the invisible, does it create a different reality rather than picturing things how they are I want to use abstract photography to picture our everyday inContinue reading “Ideas Session”
